The reason one might use it over base could be that it’s a HA in the base but mega has it anyway. I know things like this shouldn’t really be considered but that’s still something

Yeah life orb gives it more power but without any recovery and the fact that flare blitz is often used for fire stab. High jump kick is commonly used for fighting stab and that can do loads of damage if it misses. Not to mention that mega blaziken can reach higher speeds much faster.

At those high speeds they matter slightly less but I wouldn’t mega blaziken completely outclassed by base form. Priority moves could simply bypass this too. When choice scarf comes, those high speeds can be easily matched. By some fast scarf users.
